While not engaged in a full-blown September “collapse,” the Phillies are not making things easy on themselves as they try to break a decade-long postseason drought.
Sunday’s 10-inning, rain-delayed 8-7 loss to the Braves was particularly frustrating, given the multitude of ways the Phils could have won the finale and taken three out of four from an outstanding Atlanta team.
- The Phillies gave up leads of 3-2, 4-3, and 6-5.
- David Robertson, after getting the first two outs of the 8th inning, walked a batter, allowed a double, then uncorked a wild pitch on an 0-2 count to tie the game 6-6.
